Finding a rrlpe ofDwara. in Afr,ea.

One day when DIR. WoH was tramp
ing through forest he suddenly came
to grassy opening and saw before
him a large village of the Batua
dwarfs, whom Stanley heard of when
he first descended the Congo, though
he did not see them. These curious
little creatures, who are spread over a
large extent of country south of the
Congo, are very similar to the Aka
dwarfs whom Schweinfurth discovered
north of that river They are tinid
little folks, and they would doubtless
have run away If they had seen DR..
Wolf before he suddenly appeared
among them. BE found them living
in mean-looking grass huts- Around
their village were many carefully COW

THE Missouri supreme court has de-
clared the local option law constitu-
tional and thus Missouri, so far behind
the times in many things, steps to the
front rank among states having en-
lightened legislation on theliquor ques-
ton. Many counties in the state have
already declared against the saloons,
and wherever they have so declared the
law has been easily and rigidly en-
forced. In point of fact Missouri has
had local option in effect for many
years. The old law provided that
county courts should grant liquor IL
censes "to persons of good moral char
acter." In many counties where the
opponents of saloons were in the ma
jority judges of the county court were
elected who held that no man of good
moral character would sell liquor and
so no licenses were granted. In this way
many counties have for years been
without saloons, notably Clay county.
the home of the James boys. Missouri
is to be congratulated on having es-
capped prohibition fight, with its sham
and hypocrisy, and on having adopted
law which is self-enforcing. AS the
late Gov. Bodwell of Maine said
''There is no difficulty in enforcing the
(prohibition) law where the community
is in favor of it. "-Wichita Beacon.
Are we to infer from the above that
the James boys was the natur3 conse
quence of no saloons in Clay county, Oh
is this oneof the Beacon's left-handed
arguments in favor of prohibition?

\ CALL has been issued for a national
prohibition convention to be held at In
dianapolis beginning on the 9Th day of
June next, fact which suggests that
the republicans who are holding con-
ventions and adopting resolutions de-
nouncing the saloons are doing their
party no good. If the republicans re-
ally want the support of st. John and
his followers they must declare in their
national platform unreservedly in IA
vor of prohibition. Even with this
declaration, we doubt much whether
st. John or any of his kind would join
hands with the republicans. On the
other hand, the anti-saloon movement
is calculated to hurt the party in some
states, al it will aleniate the support of
many Germans and all dealers in wines
and liquors, while it will probably not
gain the support of a single prohibition
ist of the third party stripe. If the
anti-saloon movement is simply a po-
litical movement for policy, it is mis-
take. If it is intended as an aid to the
republicans, it will fail of it's aim. If.
like the third OF prohibition party, il
was intended as an auxiliary of the
democracy, it stands good show OF
filling its mission.

THOSE of our readers interested in
the political situation should read the
senate proceeding, on our third page
to-day. As the report is sent by the
Western Associated Press, it can be
relied on as a strictly verbatim report
so far as it goes, and, as the associated
press is not partisan, the report has
neither republican or democratic SYM
pathies. This being so, we especially
recommend it to those of our readers
who have taken the trouble to read
Cleveland's message. 1t will be OBJ

In the Texas episode there is little

JUDGE JosLYN, of Monroe, Michi-
gan, has proper respect for the dig
nifty of his office. Recently a number
of lawyers entered his court room for
the purpose of presenting him with a
gold-headed cane and deluging him
with Mandatory resolutions and compli-
mentary speeches. The Judge wasn't a
bit pleased. He told the attorneys
they had better sell the cane and give
the money to the poor: that he did not
think they should give presents to a
man for trying to do his duty, and if
they tried to give one to him they
would wish they had not.
